Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. When appropriate we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
Seems Disingenuous “blatant lie” rating given by media-biased-fact-check on Washington lost four pinnochios. The “tongue-in-cheek” claim of “non-“infrastructure bill was to deride nomenclature and taxonomy and political-miss-speak what is called bipartisan infrastructure bill clearly not being traditional infrastructure and everyone but wapo & you knew better, not a reference to BBB morass.
Chris, the problem here is if he meant it the way you’d like to dictate that we should’ve interpreted it then why didn’t he just say it in a way that doesn’t require your assistance as to the proper way to decipher and translate Trump”s native language. Personally I’ll pass on any of your free promotional “MumboJumboese lessons. Sincerely, Denny Ryals
